[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.
The difference between lay and lie is that lay is transitive and lie is intransitive.I was in the hospital (visting, not admitted) for a long time tonight and there was a sign on the wall asking visitors not to lay on the beds.
It had already been corrected by someone else. Which pleased me.
I could just imagine someone there, staring at it and *having* to correct it because if you are going to be staring at the same, damn thing for hours, it best be gramatically correct.
I was visiting at the police station and saw "This way to the breathilizer" on two separate signs. As twitchy as my hand was, reaching for the Sharpie in my bag? I resisted. I had no wish to fight a defacing of public property charge.
I was lucky enough to be invited by a guy who had an extra ticket.
Some things have a way of working themselves out.

That's what post-its are for.
A woman on the phone yesterday said "supposibly" to me. I manfully refrained from telling her it was not yet a word.

I was curious about this one, and so googled. And while I wish I could get a rubber stamp made up that read, "Did you mean:" like Google puts atop their pages, or maybe take a page out of DCJ's book, and get the message pre-printed on Post-It Notes, there does seem to be at least one "breathilizer" out there, or at least a company that will market breathalizers to the spelling impaired.

Watching a game of footie the other day and the commentator said that "[the manager] would be more pleaseder, with the second-half performance."
I gagged.
I made people gag last night, I told them I adjectivize nouns and veriby them also.
"Did they go to the zoo? Supposably."
I just picked up a prescription at the drive-through window. The
mass-produced
Yield sign said
Caution

"Did they go to the zoo? Supposably."
Oh no, they got Dana.
Pedestians Walking
Hee!
